I agree - they would have been snickering in the kitchen, right beside the owner who felt the need to rush to the scene and verify Sarah was there.
If the damn owner had just said, “No big deal, serve them,” this whole thing would never have happened. She’s a Dim loon.

The website 2ndvote.com already does this.
You can see how conservative or liberal they are based on donations, and you can go even further by sorting for companies in particular industries and the particular causes they’re supporting.

Quote: “That’s a difficult one. Take Cabela’s for example. Now that they’ve been bought out they no longer offer veteran discount, they are dropping some of the gun sales, they have now raised the age to buy things. Not someone to support.”

Where are you coming up with that? Might be a local issue for you?

So what? You are funding a company that is actively seeking your demise.

The LEFT is at war with us, it is time to realize that and fight back with our greatest weapon, our purchasing power.

Shifting our dollars away from businesses that hate us and toward companies that are neutral or conservative would is the best way to fight back.

The American revolutionaries contributed to the victory by staying away from British goods. Let’s follow their example.

Don’t feel too bad, I don’t think many Trump supporters loiter in Starbucks.

If you discriminate against someone over something they were born with, (outside of mental disabilities as they pertain to some jobs,etc) you’re a P.O.S. in my opinion, and hopefully both the whole weight of the state and the wrath of the mob makes your life short and miserable. OTOH if you wish to discriminate against somebody based on their life choices such as politics or religion, fine by me. YMMV

Sounds good in theory, but try saying “no” to ethnic minorities, gays, lesbians, interesex/transgenders even if you KNOW they are registered/voting Democrats and see how much freedom you have then.

In practice it’s impossible to always know if someone refuses to do business with someone based on an intrinsic or extrinsic characteristic. This is why the Framers did not have anti-discrimination legislation built into the original Constitution. The very act of having it necessitates the empowerment of a federal police force to impose it on the states and the people.

So? Is personal convenience your number one concern in how you decide your political ideologies??????

If so, you may be on the wrong site.....

I don't use any of them - your stand-alone comment about Walmart's site being inferior to Amazon led some of us to believe that was your main concern in what was basically an ideological conversation as folks discussed not supporting Amazon due to political beliefs.

It's pretty much impossible to go through every day life w/o doing some business with those who one disagrees with, so your point is not lost, it was just an oddity among the trend of the thread.

Please accept my apologies for any hard feelings my post may have caused.

Oh yeah. I’m merely referring to my personal morality there.

Just like I personally don’t care about skin color, and refuse to let politics or religion influence who I am friends with (and screw anyone who doesn’t like that) but rather dislike ‘inner city’ “culture” regardless of the skin tone of the person. I’ve worked for a number of black executives, several with advanced degrees, and was far more comfortable than hanging with ‘wanna-be’s’ or other white people who listened to {c}rap “music” and aspired to ghetto ‘culture’.
